Prior to submitting an application to the county’s Board of Adjustment and Development Review Board, the developer(s) shall submit an application for a land use and zoning permit, accompanied by a preliminary site plan, and other requirements and fees as applicable, to the Administrator for review. The Administrator shall perform the review as a courtesy to advise the owner(s) of any changes or additions that may be necessary to bring the proposal into compliance with this chapter. Following, or in conjunction with, the Administrator review, the owner(s) may request an onsite consult with the Administrator.
(A) Approval and denial of manufactured home park site plan and application.
(1) Approved plan. After receiving approval of the manufactured home park plan, from the county’s Board of Adjustment, Development Review Board, and other relevant agencies, the Planning Department shall issue the land use and zoning permit.
(2) Denied plan. If the park plan fails to receive approval, the reasons for such action and the recommended changes shall be provided in writing to the developer(s) or his or her agent.
(B) Extension and expiration of approval.
(1) (a) At a minimum, 10% of the total cost of construction of the manufactured home park shall have begun within one year of issuance of the land use and zoning permit.
(b) If less than 10% of the total cost of construction has not begun within 12 months from the issued date of the land use and zoning permit, the Board of Adjustment may grant an extension of the permit if it concludes that the permit has not yet expired, and if the applicant shows reasonable cause for delay, or that conditions have not changed so substantially as to warrant a new application, not to exceed two years.
(c) However, the Board of Adjustment has the authority to require the proposed park to resubmit their plan.
(2) If, after some physical alteration to land or structures begin to take place, such work is discontinued for a period of 12 months, then the permit shall immediately expire.
